Greetings and salutations, Pictures and words can never express being or make up the man I am. Intellectual, honest, trustworthy, communicative, blue collar, single, Christian, former Marine, native New Yorker, grown children and now working with my grandchildren. looking for a mature, sensible, communicative Sister.. Basic conversation shouldn't be this hard.. I am quite articulate and a true gentleman. I can not figure out how we have gotten to this point. Did you know that oft times when I speak to a sister in public I get no response from them and often a crazy look! Some do speak but more don't than do! Hard for a brother to fathom this. For example I met someone on a meet and greet... Nice time feeling her and she says I feel you to... Could never get to an official first date because her itinerary with work and church wouldn't allow it. I can understand that.. but why say you're interested in finding someone when your not in a position to or don't have time to cultivate a relationship none the less a friendship. I am not embittered and I don't wanna play, guess or have to play mental games to figure out what you want or where you are going. I can lay all my cards on the table and be transparent. This is what I aspire for and desire to have. Can you imagine if you can find that love that small issues stay small and big things are turned to small things. I have been in love and boy I sure would like to have that feeling in my life again... Been a long, long, long time since I have felt that way. I remember being able to say I love you and truly mean it.. Not for the manipulation of someone's emotions. I'd like to ride to the Grand Canyon, eat places I cant afford!, watch my wife help groom my granddaughters into young women, tell me to come home when I am trying to get the very last hour out of the day, ask her to meet somewhere for lunch when all I want to do is a little bump and grind unbeknownst to her. Be my smile when I am frowning, the hand in my back when I am sliding downhill backwards, she'll say " all I have is a dollar but here's fifty cents", I'll be like Popeye and she's Olive Oyl, She's Bonnie and I am Clyde, I'm Martin and she's Gina... My partner in crime, My teammate, Business partner, lover, friend, spouse..etc..etc... whatever you are I want it all.. No good thing will be withheld from us. If your unavailable.. be unavailable! Don't have any time to waste at this age.. and the time I have should be for the one who truly is placing herself in a position to be found. You know " when a man finds a wife he finds a good thing and obtainth favor from the Lord". I need all the blessings I can get! I am a stage 4 throat cancer survivor and since the healing that God has blessed me with time has a new premium that can not betaken for granted. I have been impatiently patient the last 2 1/2 years being single (record for me), just chilling and not rushing the process so if you have an interest reach out. I am a self employed handyman..,. I do everything but roofs and ac's because every woman needs a good handyman!

First Date

WALK IN THE PARK, LITE LUNCH AT A BISTRO WHERE WE COULD TALK AND PEOPLE WATCH, PLAY HIDE AND SEEK IN A PUBLIC PLACE WHERE WE CAN LOOK FOR EACH OTHER AMONGST THE CROWDS... I STILL HAVEN'T GONE ON A CARRIAGE RIDE THROUGH THE CITY
